ISIB - Institut Supérieur Industriel de Bruxelles

What ISIB - Institut Supérieur Industriel de Bruxelles does

ISIB (Institut Supérieur Industriel de Bruxelles) is the Department of Engineering and Technology within Haute École Bruxelles-Brabant (HE2B), a public higher education institution legally established in 1911 and reorganized under its current brand around 2013. ISIB delivers Master-level industrial engineering programs (five-year ISIB engineering degrees in electricity, chemistry, electronics, computer science, nuclear and medical physics, and mechanical/aeronautical engineering) plus bachelor-level offerings in industrial computing and prevention/safety, with all engineering programs carrying CTI accreditation and the EUR-ACE label for European recognition. The department operates through shared HE2B infrastructure including the Moodle-based learning management system, the my.he2b.net intranet portal, and a network of student support services (SAR success support, SAA accessibility service, Social Service, Reorientation Service), and runs extracurricular innovation projects such as the Permabot agricultural robot and ISIB Repair Café.

ISIB serves primarily prospective higher education students seeking bachelor's, master's, and continuing education qualifications in the Brussels-Brabant region, with an international segment recruited via Erasmus+ exchange programs and specific admission procedures. Customer touchpoints include the admission.he2b.be online pre-registration platform, scheduled open days, SIEP education salons in Charleroi and Liège, and campus visits across the 10-campus HE2B footprint. Programs are distributed in co-diplomation with Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) — including a cybersecurity master's, teaching master's sections 1/2/3, and medical radiophysics continuing education — and with UCLouvain Saint-Louis–Bruxelles for the MET@ archive management certificate.

Revenue is generated through regulated tuition fees (minerval) and continuing education certificates under the Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles funding framework, complemented by Erasmus+ grant funding for projects such as Learn4Green and ONE HEALTH UNDERWATER. The business model is fundamentally that of a publicly funded educational establishment rather than a commercial enterprise: enrollment is annual, demand is geographically bounded to Brussels-Capital Region and Walloon Brabant, and pricing is administered rather than market-set. No parent company, venture capital backing, private equity ownership, or subsidiaries apply; HE2B/ISIB operates under the authority of the Wallonia-Brussels Federation as a state-recognized higher education entity.
